WHITBY, Ont. — Eight municipalities are coming together this
summer to highlight the Region of Durham’s arts, culture and tourism offerings,
including its restaurants, food trucks, wineries and brewers.

The Durham Festival media launch on May 29 brought together
local dignitaries, performers and foodservice representatives to celebrate the
upcoming event, which runs Aug. 13 to 16.

The four-day festival includes a number of planned
activities including Taste Ajax on Aug. 15 and the Durham Harvest Picnic at
Victoria Fields in Whitby, Ont., which will see a world record for the longest
picnic table.

“We have some incredible talent in Durham Region and it’s
time to put all of that in the spotlight,” said Roger Anderson, regional chair
and chief executive offer.
